Thursday

it's the fact that more than ONE THIRD of the world's countries have been led by a woman, with 14 currently led by women presidents or prime ministers.

Including bastions of machismo like Japan and Mexico.

Yet the so-called leader of the 'free world' and symbol of democracy HASN'T yet been able to muster even one.

wtf????
